Great method to introduce new topic (10-20 minute hook ) Supplement or reinforce concepts from lecture Outcomes: Increased class attendance Improves retention in academic programs Improves student academic performance Multiple forms of learning more effective in learning outcomes Reduced failure rates (especially for women and minorities) Increased retention of information Students appreciate and enjoy interactive nature and interactive opportunities Positive attitudes about science at end of semester Improved relationships between students and between students and faculty Removes barriers to scientific reasoning and learning (e.g., bottleneck ) (Drake & Battaglia, 2014; Wirth & Perkins, 2014; Zhu et al., 2012 ) RESEARCHED OUTCOMES Moravec, M., Williams, A., Aguilar-Roca, N., & O Dowd, D.K. (2010). Learn before lecture: A strategy that improves learning outcomes in a large introductory biology course. CBE Life Science Education, 9, Results demonstrate that Learn Before Lecture assignments combined with interactive exercises can be implemented incrementally and result in significant increases in learning gains in large introductory biology classes.

CRE Life Sciences Education, 10, Our data suggest that this easy-to-implement exercise will be useful in large-enrollment classes to help students develop self-regulated learning skill. (346) Smith, M.K., Wood, W.B., Adams, W.K., Wieman, C., Knight, J.K., Guild, N. & Su, T.T. (2009). Why peer discussion improves student performance on in-class concept questions. Science, 323, When students answer an in-class conceptual question individually using clickers, discuss it with their neighbors, and then re-vote on the same question, the percentage of correct answers typically increases. This outcome could result from gains in understanding during discussion, or simply from peer influence of knowledgeable students on their neighbors. To distinguish between these alternatives in an undergraduate genetics course, we followed the above exercise with a second, similar (isomorphic) question on the same concept that students answered individually. Our results indicate that peer discussion enhances understanding, even when none of the students in a discussion group originally knows the correct answer. (122) ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES HOW TO DO IT Aesthetic Presentations Students are encouraged to think about representing their knowledge of the course content in an alternative manner Case Method Students are presented a problem based on real-world situations, and are challenged to apply course knowledge to analyze the issues and formulate solutions Clickers Student response system using wireless handheld device Collaborative Learning Strategies Jigsaw: Students work in small groups and each group member assigned to become an expert on a certain unit of study. Experts from different groups meet/discuss, then return to original group and teach topic to group mates. Think-Pair-Share: Students LISTEN while a question is posed, THINK of a response, PAIR with a neighbor to discuss responses, and SHARE their responses with the whole class. Send-A-Problem: Solve a problem as a group; pass the problem and solution to another group who does the same; the final group evaluates the solutions Concept Mapping Learners construct a visual map to illustrate conceptual connections and inter-relationships among concepts. Debates Students engage in structured academic controversies Interactive Discussion Craft questions likely to elicit student responses, encouraging responses from multiple perspectives Minute Paper Students to write for one minute on a given topic/prompt to summarize key points and highlights from class Muddiest Point Ask students to write a quick response to the question: What was the muddiest point today in the lecture, discussion, etc.? Note Check Ask students to partner with someone nearby and compare their notes, working together to fill gaps in their understanding of information One Sentence Summary Students are asked to synthesize notes into one sentence: Who does what to whom, when, where, how, and why? 2
3 Panel Discussions Classroom-based panel discussion, usually requires 3-5 prepared students to serve as the 'experts' on a given topic Problem-Based Learning The case method, except that course material alone cannot provide solutions to the problem. Students work in groups to conduct outside research to find solutions. Question and Answer Pairs Students read assignment before class and compose questions. In class, students pair up and take turns posing and responding to questions Role plays/simulations Promotes real world application of theory. Explanation of the topic by the instructor, student preparation for involvement in activity, the actual role-play activity, and the discussion or debriefing on the role-play Send-A-Problem Solve problem as a group; pass problem and solution to another group who does the same; final group evaluates the solutions Service Learning Kent State University Office of Experiential Education and Civic Engagement work with faculty to incorporate civic engagement into the course curriculum Team-based Learning Students spend the bulk of class time in the application of course concepts to problem-solving. Teams of 5-7 students are permanent and work together all semester Teaching with Data Students use real or simulated data to build quantitative literacy What s the Principle? Provide students with a few problems and ask them to discuss and decide the principle that best applies to each problem DEPT. EXAMPLE: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Popular Biology Lecture Courses Ditch the Lectures The most inspiring comment I ve ever gotten on a teaching evaluation was that I made a class of 700 feel like a class of 35. In Freeman s classes, where active learning is used regularly and strategically, the success rate skyrockets to 90%. Data also show that the improvement is particularly striking among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Innovative Teaching in Biology Classes, Large and Small Bio 180 Largest Intro to Bio course in the department Each night: In class: Students complete required online quiz about assigned reading Students sit as a group, by lab section (increased interaction; increased accountability) Instructor presents short lecture segments, each followed by in-class exercises -e.g., small group problem solving with random selection of report out; clicker assessment of concept and discussion Beginning of semester: Explain why active learning is being used; show data re more students passing - with better grades. 3
4 Explain your role as instructor in active learning as well as their role as a student Started with large enrollment courses, now integrating strategies across other courses in BIO dept. Awarded NSF teaching research grant to broaden faculty participation Critical mass of faculty within dept. using strategies and formed Bio Education Research Group w weekly meetings FACULTY EXAMPLE: A CASE STUDY Langley, D. & Guzey, S.S. (2014). Conducting an introductory biology course in an active learning classroom: A case Study of an experienced faculty member. New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 137, Students spend much of their time working in collaborative teams, discussing, debating, problem solving, using three-dimensional artifacts, or running simulations on the Internet depending on the problem. For Daniel, the most important technology in the ALCs is the round tables. Everybody can interact with everybody else. The whiteboards are also keys to advancing and making student learning visible. As students work together to agree on answers to questions, the whiteboards are an easy way for me to look around the room and see where everybody is at. It s pretty low tech, but it works really well. (73) ASSESSMENT LOGISTICS WITH LARGE CLASS SIZE (from Leckie, 2013) The following comments are based on experiences (Leckie, 2013) with the large Intro Oceanography course at UMass- Amherst. We do some form of student-active learning every day in class; sometimes two activities. The students expect it. We collect many of the in-class activities that the students do, but there are many that we don't, and we don't tell them ahead of time whether something will be collected or not. These in-class activities are worth up to 20% of the final grade. For us, this is the same value as an exam; students can earn the equivalent of a 100% on an exam simply by coming to class every day and participating. This is a great incentive to get them to engage! Grading of the collected in-class activities is designed to be simple: we give 2 points for a completed activity, 1 point for an incomplete effort, and zero for nothing turned in. We don't spend much time actually evaluating the student responses because we nearly always have a classroom discussion about the activity before it is turned in. Collection of 300 pieces of paper on a regular basis can be challenging, but we do 2 things that expedite the sorting: 1) students write the first 3 letters of their last name in the upper right-hand corner of the paper (in large block letters), and 2) they place their exercise in the appropriate box (reprint box with one or more letters, "A-B", "C-D", etc.) as they exit the classroom at the end of class. Alphabetizing, grading, and entering the scores in a spreadsheet will take a Teaching Assistant only ~1 hour or so. We use these same labeled reprint boxes to return graded exercises to the students during the next class; we arrive early to class and put the graded exercises out for students to pick up before class begins.
